On this occasion, it seems to be because of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. In Britain, there has been some talk about making the change, but it didn't happen this year. Our clocks went forward on 25 March.
From 1968 - 1971, we kept our clocks forward all the time, as an experiment, but then reverted to twice yearly changes. We had periods of double summer time (clocks going forward 2 hours) during the war to reduce the length of blackout.
Prior to 1961, it operated only from mid-April to early October.
I have just closed a question of mine asking about connections on public transport which might be affected, and whether anyone had ever missed a connection. I was surprised that it attracted only a single answer relating to international travel.

Some politicians got together and convinced some other politicians that we would use less energy if we lighted and heated buildings through the coldest part of the day.

The theory is that we all get up and spend little time at home in the morning so use less power. At night after work we do not need to use much power as it is still daylight.
That is the theory, however...............?
